TCGAbiolinksGUI was created to help users more comfortable with graphical user interfaces (GUI) to search, download and analyze Cancer data. It offers a graphical user interface to the R/Bioconductor package TCGAbiolinks (A. Colaprico et al. 2016), which is able to access The National Cancer Institute (NCI) Genomic Data Commons (GDC) thorough its
GDC Application Programming Interface (API). Additional packages from Bioconductor are included, such as ComplexHeatmap package (Gu, Eils, and Schlesner 2016) to aid in visualizing the data, ELMER (Yao et al. 2015) to identify regulatory enhancers using gene expression + DNA methylation data + motif analysis and Pathview (Luo and Brouwer 2013) for pathway-based data integration and visualization.
The GUI was created using Shiny, a Web Application Framework for R, and uses several packages to provide advanced features that can enhance Shiny apps, such as shinyjs to add JavaScript actions for the app, shinydashboard to add dashboards and shinyFiles to provide an API for client side access to the server file system. A running version of the GUI is found in (shinyapps.io)[https://tcgabiolinksgui.shinyapps.io/demo/]
To install the package from the (Bioconductor repository)[http://bioconductor.org/packages/TCGAbiolinksGUI/] please use the following code. To date, the package is only available in the (devel version of Bioconductor)[https://www.bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/useDevel/], but it should be available in the release version until May 2017.
